The definition of Verbal Communication is the use of sounds and words to express yourself, especially in contrast to using gestures or mannerisms. Verbal Communication is something that people deal with everyday. It is how we communicate with one another. Communication is something that happens without thinking about it. The example that I chose expresses communication in a different way that most people don't consider communicating. I chose to do a music video because a lot of singers chose to express how they feel through music and lyrics. The song I chose is called “I took a pill in Ibiza” by Mike Posner. This song is very popular right now, but a lot of people only know the Seeb Remix version of it. This remix is very upbeat and happy, but the original version of it is slow and makes sense with the lyrics. The versions are the same lyrics, but with the remix people do not think about the sad lyrics. The words in it are “all I know are sad songs”, “I’m just a singer, who already blew his shot”, “I get along with old timers, cause my name’s a reminder of a pop song people forgot”, and “you don’t wanna be high like me, never really knowing why like me, you don’t wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone”. His lyrics shouldn’t go to such an upbeat song because he is trying to communicate a sad song and sad lyrics. I think using music to verbally communicate is something that artists escape too and depend on to communicate.  Verbal communication is in everyone’s day to day lives, including all the music we listen too.
